Webmaster Forum / Perl / Modules / April 2007

I have just uploaded my first module. I have read that there is an exception
from the rule "never the same file again" concerning docu files (an *.html
file is my case). But I could not find (if possible at all) how can I change
a documentation file that is part of my module ...

I'm about to start work on what should (initially) be a fairly simple
API for allowing modules to register for events within an application. I
think it's best explained with a simple code example, based on the
intended use for this application.

LWP doesn't seem to want to work through Privoxy (privoxy.org).
Privoxy is up and running fine through a normal browser and my script
works fine without Privoxy, but I can't get them working together.
Here is my code:

I'm thinking of using a filename as a unique identifier and I'm
wondering if there is a module on CPAN (in those 1483 search results)
that I can't seem to find which provides some kind of OO filename
abstraction.

The requirement for this module came about intially because I was
thinking about how to handle virtual URLs in websites; for example:
 /photos/album12/photo17.jpg
This will fetch the 17th photo from the 12th album, by whatever method

I am confused with the IO::Socket module
When I attempt to open a "blocking" udp socket with the following
lines:
my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET(

I am trying to parse a Huge XMLfile using XML::Twig.The part of XML
file is as following:-
This is a sample code:-

I need to write to the eventlogs and Im trying to install 'libwin32'
on windows.
* nmake is installed
* Visual Studio C++ is installed for the cl compiler

I have a module that has "use 5.008" because its never been tested (by  
me) on earlier versions. Not supprisingly it failed automatic testing  
on earlier versions on submission to CPAN. I'd like to fix this, but  
not so much that Im going to load up earlier versions.

If META.yml says you need Module::Build and I don't provide a
Makefile.PL, wouldn't that be a good time to install Module::Build?
Should I just put a die in Makefile.PL to avoid this silly "we're
obviously missing the required build system but we'll try to pretend

What is the best module to use for reading in an XML file, modifying a
field and then writing it back to file?  There seem to be a lot of XML
parsers out there....
Thanks,

I am considering writing a perl module to retrieve options prices. I've done
my homework and can't seem to find anything similar in CPAN. I see that
Finance::Quote will retrieve prices for an individual option. I need something
that will retrieve *all* current options and prices for ...

I'm building a Perl extension (dll in Windows XP) using
ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
This dll needs to link with other libraries that were built in static
mode (-MTd).

I am looking for comments on a new Perl module. The purpose of the
module is to take a data set (e.g. from a DB query), apply a bunch of
formatting rules, and render the resulting information in the form of
an HTML table.
